Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX Halftime Show: A Celebration of Puerto Rican Culture
Bad Bunny delivered a vibrant and culturally rich Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, celebrating Puerto Rican heritage on a global stage.
Following his historic Grammys win for Album of the Year with Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Bad Bunny electrified Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
As the Seattle Seahawks led the New England Patriots, anticipation grew for El Conejo Malo. He launched into "Tití Me Preguntó," sporting an 'Ocasio' jersey and the number '64,' surrounded by workers in traditional pava hats, setting a distinctly Puerto Rican tone.
He moved through scenes of cultural pride: field workers, domino players, women getting their nails done, and piragua vendors. Cameos from Karol G, Jessica Alba, and Cardi B amplified the spectacle. He even brought out his famous casita, a replica of a traditional Puerto Rican home.
Transitioning to “Yo Perreo Sola” and “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR,” he climbed onto a “perreo”-emblazoned pickup, encircled by dancers. Samples of Don Omar’s “Dale Don Dale” and Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina” led into the Grammy-winning hit “EoO.” He declared, “This is the music of Puerto Rico!”
The iconic Coquí toad made an appearance, followed by violinists introducing “Monaco.”
"Buenas tardes, California, mi nombre es Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio,” he announced, “y si ahora estoy en el Super Bowl LX, es porque nunca, nunca dejé de creer en mí. Tú también nunca dejes de creer en ti."
Lady Gaga then appeared in a baby blue dress, singing “Die With A Smile” over a salsa rhythm. Toñita, owner of Brooklyn’s Caribbean Social Club, handed Bad Bunny a drink, leading into “NuevaYol.”
Ricky Martin emerged to deliver “Lo Que Pasó en Hawaii,” transitioning into “El Apagón,” spotlighting Puerto Rico’s electricity issues and LUMA Energy's privatization.
He shouted out countries from the Americas and held up a football reading “Together We Are America,” responding to criticism with a message of unity.
Despite his intentions to avoid politics, the performance sparked debate, becoming a talked-about Super Bowl moment.
In an interview, Bad Bunny said, “I’m just a normal guy that makes music. I want people to feel happiness and joy...feel proud and think that everything is possible.”
He is redefining possibilities on global stages.
